The LaserSaber: The Closest You'll Get To Owning A Jedi Weapon

Wicked Lasers has introduced the rather shamelessly named 'LaserSaber:' the closest thing to a the weapon of a Jedi you could possibly own.

Built as a $100 attachment for the ridiculously powerful S3 Krypton Laser, this is a 32" polycarbonate tube, which utilises a so called magnetic gravity system that imitates the powering-up and down of the lightsaber. They stopped short of adding sound effects: probably for the best as even though your first idea when wielding this object will probably be to engage in pretend Jedi combat, this is still one of the most powerful lasers in the world, and definitely not recommended for dueling.

Anybody who enjoyed yesterday's particularly repetitive "May the 4th be with you" trend will particularly like this, and those of us who hate the day as people who don't know/haven't watched Star Wars suddenly become celebratory of it will love this (not bitter at all about these people...).

What happens if you give a GoPro to a Jedi? Magic happens.

As a reader of this website, chances are you've dreamed of being a Jedi at some point in your life.

It's all one amazing pipe dream, but YouTuber Bill Parker has created this great creative video of a Jedi strapping a GoPro to himself and fighting the Empire in the desert.

Love And Hate Of The Samsung Galaxy S3

So the Samsung Galaxy S3 announcement has come and gone in a daze of applause, orchestral accompaniment and Suzi Perry. Many of the rumours and speculation we collected were correct, the stage was set for the 'biggest smartphone announcement of the year,' and we got a phone which is primed to be a rather huge success in the high-end Android device market.

But some of us aren't buying into this new 'nature' visage, seeing the new Galaxy, its design cues and software implementations as quite the disappointment. Is this the final, rather laughable nail in the coffin of originality? Or is this to be the best smartphone of the year? Two editors debate.
